Terms of Clearance: This information collection request is not approved. OMB notes that the ICR package submitted accounts for burden associated with EPA's proposed WRAP rule. EPA submitted this package as a revision to the ICR associated with the Regional Haze Rule. When EPA revises the information collection associated with the Regional Haze rule (due to expire in 9/2002), the Agency should incorporate this information collection package (EPA #1813.03) but should not include the burden hours in its total burden request. When the WRAP rule is finalized, EPA should then revise the Regional Haze ICR to incorporate the hours associated with the WRAP rule.

Abstract: This regulation is for an action anticipated by the regional haze rule that EPA published in July 1999. One portion of the region- al haze rule was an optional visibility protection program for 9 Western States. Part of this rogram for the West, a long-term program to reduce stationary source emissions of sulfur dioxide, was incomplete at the time of the 1999 rule.
